After Action Report

The Timberwolves outlasted the Lakers 111-104. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
